This unique blend is born from the meeting of local grape varieties such as Carricante and Grecanico with those typical of colder climates, including Riesling Renano, Gewürztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. On the nose, it develops delicate aromas of rose and broom, enriched by \u003cstrong\u003eash notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, bergamot, and grapefruit. On the palate, it presents an initial aromatic softness that quickly evolves into a vertical and vibrant character, defined by sharp acidity and a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent marine savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in a small terraced plot in Contrada Nave, located on the north-western slope of Mount Etna. In this context of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, the vines are trained as bush vines at around 1,200 metres above sea level, facing a cold climate and extreme conditions. The primordial \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude volcanic soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, permeated with vibrant mineral energy, imparts a distinctive mark to the sensory profile. This rigorous combination of altitude and volcanic matrix shapes the identity of the sip, bringing to the glass the \u003cstrong\u003efreshness of snow\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of these heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process aims to reflect the taut and elegant essence of the blend. The technique involves \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the acidity and definition of the aromas. Subsequently, the wine matures for 18 months on fine lees, gaining depth of flavour without losing its dry profile, before resting for at least 6 months in the bottle. This technical approach ensures a long, persistent finish, ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003esushi and shellfish\u003c\/strong\u003e or for balancing \u003cstrong\u003esoft cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e and fried fish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the bold vision of Federico Graziani, Mareneve embodies the extreme essence of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e on Etna. Planted in the early 2000s at an altitude of 1,200 metres in Contrada Nave, the small terraced bush-trained vineyard experiments with cold-climate grape varieties on a primordial \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude volcanic soil\u003c\/strong\u003e. This crystalline alchemy rests for 18 months on fine lees and 6 months in the bottle. In a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, a lively and ever-changing wine is born, where the vibrant freshness of snow merges with a persistent \u003cstrong\u003emarine salinity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Federico Graziani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45679796486315,"sku":"58425","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/federico-graziani-mareneve-bianco-2023_58425_1_7742cd30-b5a8-45a8-808e-c7397de9e5fc.webp?v=1773785736","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/federico-graziani-mareneve-bianco-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
